Air Abrasion

Do you have a fear of dental drills? Air abrasion blasts away tooth decay
without heat or vibration. Instead, a dental hand tool, run on compressed
air, forces a mixture of natural particles to your tooth. The particles
are sprayed precisely, eroding the decayed areas while leaving more of
your healthy tooth intact.

PerioLase

Laser dentistry affords more comfort and improved recovery after soft tissue
procedures. The PerioLase dental laser is an innovative and effective
treatment tool for gum disease which removes bacteria and diseased tissue
without the use of incisions or scalpels.

Intraoral Camera

An intraoral camera is an advanced general dentistry tool that allows our
doctors to take a digital image of the inside of your mouth with a pen-sized
camera. The image is immediately transferred onto a monitor so that you
can see what our experts are seeing.

Microabrasion

Utilizing a hand tool that works similarly to a sand blaster, our doctors
can remove spots on teeth or dental decay without the pain-inducing heat
or vibration caused by dental drills.

CEREC

Same-day crowns provide the ultimate in convenience and comfort. CEREC
crowns are designed and fabricated for you while you wait using 3D CAD
advanced general dentistry software and an innovative milling machine.
No more temporary crowns.

Oraqix®

You can enjoy less pain without needles. Oraqix® is a topical anesthetic
that works quickly to numb soft tissue. Our hygienists often use it during
cleanings and periodontal maintenance.

Piezosurgery ®

Through the use of advanced general dentistry microsurgical tools, Piezosurgery®
provides a precision instrument to cut through bone. Piezosurgery®
reduces swelling, bleeding, and discomfort while preserving more of your
healthy teeth and bone.

Plasma Rich Growth Factors (PRGF)

PRGF are isolated growth factors that are extracted from your own blood.
When introduced to a wound or surgical treatment site, you experience
dramatically improved healing times.

Digital X-Rays

You can enjoy shorter visits with digital x-rays. They are immediately
transferred to a monitor, avoiding the need to wait for the film to develop.

VELscope®

VELscope® is an advanced general dentistry tool that allows our doctors
to accurately detect changes in soft tissue with a special light before
they would be visible to the naked eye. VELscope® encourages early
diagnosis and treatment of cancerous tissue.

3D Cone Beam 3D Imaging

The health and safety of our patients is our highest priority, which is
why Cone Beam 3D Dental Imaging is used in our office. This system is
unlike traditional x-ray methods because it emits a very low dose of radiation,
thereby lessening the amount of unnecessary exposure.

The Cone Beam 3D Dental Imaging System is used in many dental procedures.
It can be used to create a dental implants treatment plan, helping determine
size and placement of the intended implant. It can also be used to diagnose
and treat periodontal disease. The Cone Beam system provides our dentists
with a clear and comprehensive view of our patients’ facial nerves
and bone structure, which allows us to create a personalized procedure
to protect our patients’ nerve endings. Such advanced technology
allows us to minimize pain and speed up the healing process.
